MBE | Dark Skin Evolution in Early Humans: Revisiting the Skin Cancer Hypothesis Through Migration-Related Mismatch
@simonokholm.bsky.social et al. examine the skin cancer hypothesis for the evolution of dark skin in early humans, arguing that protective effects were likely selected to mitigate other UV-related risks, rather than skin cancer.

My first paper on cancer an evolution i out in Molecular Biology and Evolution, @molbioevol.bsky.social. We retest the skin cancer hypothesis for dark skin evolution in ancestral humans, using migration-related mismatch and find acute UV-related risks likely drove selection doi.org/10.1093/molb...
